I just drew out a simple dress pattern. Since these are going to be notecards, I outlined my envelope on the loteria card, so that the dress I made would fit inside the envelope. (pretty smart, huh?)

Then I cut out my dress using my plain scissors. I used the first dress as a template and cut out a bunch more.

Then I applied glue to the back of the dress and glued to a plain piece of construction paper. Using my decorative scissors, I cut around the edge of the dress leaving a little scalloped border around the dress.

I went through my stash of ribbon and tied around the dress, gluing a small flower as an accent.

Viola! these little dresses took less then 3 minutes to make!

I am going to make a hole punch on some of them, and run gold ribbon, to use as a gift tag.

I might even attach some beads to it too. Don't let me get started on the glitter opportunities either!

Yoli, those are so darling. I can visualize these little dresses cut out from oil cloth. How cute. Great idea. By the way, I was looking at your latest profile picture and you sure have done great on your weight loss program. Congratulations, you look wonderful and full of life. Nice to see you. Take care.

Hi Yoli! Wonderful tutorial! Love the cards you created. The ribbon belts and rosettes are a perfect touch. So cute! Thanks so much for your sweet visits as always! I really appreciate your support in my art! Blessings to you! :)
